Which is faster simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion?

1 answer:

3 0

Facillatated diffusion is faster than simple diffusion when solute concentration is low because it uses channels to transport molecules throught the lipid bilayer. Simple diffusion depends upon concentration gradients so the net movement of diffusing molecules depends on the concentration gradient, thus the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradient.

What is the chemical reaction used to study enzyme activity in the lab (lactase breaking down lactose into its monomers). Know t

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The chemical reaction in this example is Called hydrolysis in the presence of Lactase

Here is a word equation for the hydrolysis of lactose:

lactose + water → galactose + glucose

Explanation: The equation is called <hydro> + <lysis) of these terms refer to water and splitting respectively. So hydrolysis means splitting with water. Enzymes pull out a monomer by examining where the monomers are connected, and placing a water molecule in between them, resulting in the breakage of the bond between the monomers. Here are two picture to represent it.
